The latest in my ‘90s rom-com but make it historical’ series is out next year. Have I solved all the problematic-as-shit elements of the movie but retained all the humour and bookish feels? I hope so ❤️

My editor says While The Duke Was Sleeping is the funniest book I’ve written – that is entirely the work of my characters, not me. It’s a retelling of everyone’s fav rom-com, but with none of the problematic bits (no cheating here...) amazon.com/dp/1538757737/

It’s called proof pages ❤️
There must be a word for when you look at old pictures of yourself, from a time when you felt deeply unpretty, only to realize how beautiful you really were in retrospect

Sage advice
I was questioning whether I should continue writing, pursuing traditional publishing, etc. It turns out I just needed a long nap, so if you're feeling some kind of way go nap.

I made a thing to say Happy Halloween and also to tell everybody that my first Halloween-y book is out right now, and full of spoopy shenanigans! Perfect to curl up with on a sort of cold and scary October night!

As you may know the algorithm here isn't so kind to small businesses nowadays. It would be fantastic if you could RT my tweet below/above in which I link to my January illustration workshop.Illness has slashed my income in the last year or so-it would help me so much. Thankyou x

Everything I’ve read indicates the Swifties are the politest, most fun, big-spending tourists the city has ever seen.
i have been tipped $3 several time on $2 waters. as far as im concerned the kingdom of heaven is comprised of only swifties

For a second I read that wrong and thought it said Ever Single Book and that resonated because my timelines are a mess until the second editorial pass at least. The curse of writing out of order.

There are romance novel moments. This reaction is one…
Kelly Clarkson is so real because that's EXACTLY how I would've responded. 😂

Grazed my hand gardening. Proceeded to get compost all through the skin. I need to get the needle and tweezers out, right? Ouch. Cannot I not just leave it and hope not to die?

I’m at that point where I’ve started too many garden projects and the entire place is a crazy mess and now I just want to sit down with a soda stream and ignore it all.

She’s HERE! Years of work and preparation and hard graft from many people, and she’s finally here. Hardback, gold foil, packed with feminism and history, I hope you love her as much as I do.
